That’s why Little Ceasar’s went out of business. Franchises couldn’t make a profit.
Ever hear of CiCi’s Pizza? It’s an awful product but had an all-you-can-eat $3.99 buffet. For parents it is great - little kids don’t mind the pizza and they can at least get a pasta or salad that doesn’t suck. They raised it to $4.99 but that didn’t help.
Several of their stores in middle Tennessee closed. With prices across the board rise their costs can’t be covered at $5 a head. Flour, cheese, meats, vegetables...all are much higher than two years ago.
It squeezes the already low profit margins to the point they can’t pay the lease or utilities much less employees. So they cut back on labor first making the situation worse.
It’s a vicious circle that can only be turned around when liberals in both parties quit stealing our money.
If the 2012 elections don’t turn out like 1980 it will get even worse.
Last time I went to CiCi’s it cost a small bundle. Not the food, but the game tokens! lol.
The Little Caesar’s sign guy is grooving up a storm down the street from me. They are still alive.
